Let's face it, the reason people say donations is because they want you to pay as much as possible [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] if they say porting for 10p people will pay 10p, where as someone else might pay 50p if you don't specify.
It's very similar to tipping waiters in restaurants, etiquette seems to say that 10% or w/e is the correct amount. Refusing to do something when you're claiming you're doing it for donations is a pretty poor show though.

I would say its more this way: People who offer donations for a port say donations because they dont wanna pay much and if they would offer 10p for a port it would minimize their chance. | |||

A lot of what's been said made sense.
Just want to reiterate that I also feel as if mr. Cleric was the exception, but others have reported similar behavior. I can now see what saying "Porting for Donations" makes sense, at least, in the way that you're saying it. You're porting, and accepting donations, but without saying it like that, because then nobody would ever pay anything. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

The way I see it is mana is free, they are paying for your time. The longer something takes, the more plat you should give them.
That being said, donations are just that. Donations. In no way are they required. Anyone who says donation yet requires money is a liar and should be boycotted. I spend hours in oasis buffing everybody and have never once even asked for a donation. Its called courtesy. It seems too many people lack it these days. What goes around comes around, and those who are too ignorant to take ten minutes out of their day to help someone I can only pray that they never get the help they need. I have made hundreds of friends already on the server because I'm not a plat whoring, selfish a-hole. If I'm not leveling or working on a quest, I'm always helping somebody somewhere. I'd say over half of the plat I make goes towards gear for lower level people in need. Again, its called courtesy. We've all been in a tough spot before. When everybody can take ten minutes out of their day to help someone else it makes the whole place better. Thankfully most of the server I have met are wonderful people, and completely unlike the cleric who refuses to rez people because its a waste of their time. People remember those who help them, and even more so those are are ignorant. | ||

I don't have a porter on this server but if I did...
I would charge 1p per level of the person being ported, CR ports free... all assuming I was not busy in a group or on a raid. I generally give 30 plat for a ride, though I will go as high as hundred if I am having trouble finding someone willing and I really need to get somewhere fast. | ||
